Internal, system driven events of different types (debug messages, errors, warnings, etc.) occuring within in UBIK® are recorded by a logging mechanism. This information supports the user in finding issues in the design process or to identify the reasons for problems at runtime. The mechanisms can be configured for the Web Service, the UBIK® Studio as well as for the UBIK® Enterprise Service. A general description of the technique used can be found on the Microsoft page for Configuring Services.
Since Version 2.4.3 - Server the configuration has to be done in the Logging.config file. For older versions the configuration has to be done in one of the main [[configuration files.
Logging categories
UBIK® has different types of categories configured for the logging mechanism. The following categories can be configured in the configuration files. Categories with the remark internal are available via customizing code, but are used to log internal events. As it is not recommended to mix logging of internal events together with others, the two additional categories CUSTOMIZING and WORKFLOW have been created.
| Type | Description | Access |
|---|---|---|
| CUSTOMIZING | Log for events that occured in the customizing. This method is available by calling UBIKKernel.LogCustomizing(...) from the customizing code. |
public |
| WORKFLOW | Log for events that occured when running workflows which is provided by the WriteLogEntry Activity | public |
| ASSERTION | Log for failed Assertions | internal |
| WARNING | Log for events that created a warning | internal |
| ERROR | Log for events that created an error | internal |
| DEBUG | Log for events that have to be investigated in the development | internal |
